Here ya go. This is for section 1.8.1.1. I'd recommend that it be placed
between the current \textLengthOn example and the Predefined commands
header.
-- begin documentation snippet --
Note that \textLengthOn does not necessarily increase the spacing of
the note that the text is attached to. Rather, the shortest moment in
time when the text occurs will get the added space (even if it is
in another voice).
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff \relative c' {
\clef treble
c4 e g e
}
\new Staff \relative c {
\clef bass
\textLengthOn
c1_\markup \column {
"The space is inserted between the first"
"and second beat, even though this text"
"is attached to the whole-note."
}
}
>>
}
-- end documentation snippet --
Thanks!
